Under the Phantom Moon |
The high hawk knows where the rabbit goes |
And the buzzard marks the kill |
But few there be with eyes to see |
The tall men riding still |
We hark in vain on the speeding train |
For an echo of hoofbeat thunder |
And the yellow wheat is a winding sheet |
For cattle trails plowed under |
Hoofdust flies at the low moon’s rise |
And the bullbat’s lonesome whir |
Is an echoed note from the longhorn throat |
A steer as it were |
Inch by inch, time draws the cinch |
Till the saddles creak no more |
And they the lords of the cattle hordes |
Shall tally a final score |
Oh the tall men riding |
Under the phantom moon |
Oh the tall men riding |
Hoofbeats like hammers of doom |
This is the song that the night birds sing |
As the phantom herds trail by |
Horn by horn where the long plains throw |
Flat miles to the sky |
And this is the song that the night birds wail |
Where the texas plains lie wide |
Over the dust of a ghostly trail |
Where the phantom tall men ride |
